  • step S5 the sum is stored as data X in the X register 13b in the unit 13.
  • the unit 4 checks in step S6 whether or not the value of the lowest digit of the current date (DATE) is an even value. If YES in step S6, the DATE is divided by 2 in step S7. The quotient is stored as data Z of the DATE in the Z register in the register 13b in step S8. In step S9, the AMT is stored in the Y register. A calculation is performed in accordance with the contents of the X, Y and Z registers in step 10 as follows:
